JFK ASSASSINATION ARGUMENTS (PART 1163)

MARTIN MIZZI SAID:

So your photo is worthless in proving no damage to the BOH.

DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

Bull.

And you're misrepresenting my position. I have never once said there was "no damage to the BOH". I can see the radiating fractures in the X-ray that extend all the way into the back/occipital part of JFK's head. That's obvious.

What I HAVE said is that there is NO MISSING SKULL in the back part of the President's head. And that "No Missing Skull" truth is something that totally destroys the claims made by many/most of the Parkland witnesses. Because those Parkland witnesses have stated that there was a huge HOLE (i.e., MISSING SKULL) in the occipital area of the head.

And, logically, that would also have to mean that the SCALP portion of JFK's head--which covered the skull in the occipital--should have also been "MISSING" too (or at least severely damaged and torn up).

But, as we can see in the "red spot" BOH photo, the scalp is completely intact, without a hint of damage at all. Nothing. Nada. It's perfect. And it's lying right on top of the supposedly BLASTED OUT and MISSING skull that's directly underneath it. Absolutely impossible.

What's wrong with this comparison below? (And, no, the answer is certainly not "The Autopsy Picture Must Be A Fake!")....

MARTIN MIZZI SAID:

Maybe you should brush up on what was said by whom, when, and where. We have testimony from Boswell (you know, the guy who is pulling the flap forward in the picture) that the flap is being pulled forward and it was concealing the entire defect. We also have the skull he marked clearly showing how far back the damage went. Even Humes made clear the damage stretched to the OCCIPITAL bone.

We also have Boswell on record for the ARRB stating skull fragments that were loose and detached from the skull were put back in for X-rays.

So any attempt to use the X-rays to prove an area was intact is pretty well undermined by Boswell's testimony, wouldn't you say, David?

DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

Not at all. And that's because the autopsy X-rays and photographs are now (and always have been) by far the best evidence to illustrate the true locations of JFK's wounds. Why would anyone think otherwise, particularly when you've got Page 41 of HSCA Volume 7 staring you in the face every day of your life?

Nobody can suddenly change the above autopsy photo and X-ray. Nobody can suddenly make a huge hole appear in the back of President Kennedy's head in those autopsy pictures. There was no huge "BOH" hole there in 1963. There was no huge hole back there when Dr. Boswell gave his testimony to the ARRB in 1996. And there's no big hole in the BOH in 2013. It just isn't there. And never was. And the autopsy pictures (plus the Zapruder Film too) prove it.

MARTIN MIZZI SAID:

Now, why don't you explain to us why you think it is okay to have double standards? The CT's are in the wrong for ignoring the autopsy report (per your thread), yet you have no problem at all cherry picking the evidence and testimony that suits you and disregarding the rest. What ever happened to giving priority to the earliest statements? Or is that only the case when it suits you?

DAVID VON PEIN SAID:

And you're still ignoring the best evidence, which is: the autopsy photos/X-rays and the autopsy report.

NOTHING that Dr. Boswell told the ARRB in 1996 changes the basic "JFK WAS SHOT ONLY FROM BEHIND" conclusion reached by all three autopsy doctors in November 1963.

Please point me to ANY statement uttered by ANY of the three autopsy surgeons in which any of them said that they had changed their mind(s) and now believe JFK was shot from the front. Good luck finding any such statement from Humes, Boswell, or Finck.

In fact....

"In 1963, we proved at the autopsy table that President Kennedy was struck from above and behind by the fatal shot. The pattern of the entrance and exit wounds in the skull proves it, and if we stayed here until hell freezes over, nothing will change this proof. It happens 100 times out of 100, and I will defend it until I die. This is the essence of our autopsy, and it is supreme ignorance to argue any other scenario. This is a law of physics and it is foolproof--absolutely, unequivocally, and without question. The conspiracy buffs have totally ignored this central scientific fact, and everything else is hogwash. There was no interference with our autopsy, and there was no conspiracy to suppress the findings."-- Dr. James J. Humes; Interview with JAMA editor George D. Lundberg; October 1991 [See “JFK’s Death: The Plain Truth From The MDs Who Did The Autopsy”, by Dennis L. Breo, Journal of the American Medical Association, Volume 267, No. 20, May 27, 1992, Page 2794]
